Fasching Fun 2009

We headed to Malsch for their annual Fasching Parade. What an experience for Mom and Dad. This is the one time of year the German's go a little crazy - let down their hair - and have a great time! One of the John Deere families lives along the parade set-up route. We all met at their place for tons of great food and fun! Once again I took a TON of pictures....but will only post a few! It was a bit cold and sort of rainy - but we still had a great time!
Sergey and Lilianna (this is who my kids carpool with to school!) Mom and Dad at the parade.

Some of the traditional wooden masks....worn to scare away winter! Dad at the parade!

Sydney and friends getting CANDY! Silas and Shaylee also getting their share.

Such unique outfits and floats....its just fun to watch and be part of the excitement!


A few of the floats even had an American theme to them!
